Where exactly is Boys love cafe in Japan? What is Boys love cafe?

BL stands for "Boys love". One popular genre for many girls (!) in Japan (and the world). This cafe opened based on the concept of the young guys in love each other. You as a customer go to the
cafe as if you go to the school.

There are 3 grades in school where you can tell by the color of the tie the students (cafe staff) wear. The 1st grade is red, 2nd, blue and 3rd black.

Upon your first visit, you get a student card and start from the first grade. The rule is that you cannot casual talk to the students above your grade. It is kinda role play. The more you go to
the school (cafe), the higher your grade will be.

The cafe serves you not only coffee, but also alcohol (what a school!).

The school organizes some event such as school excursion to the strawberry firm etc. from time to time and you can join it.

One important rule in the cafe. You are not allowed to touch the boys there! You can talk to them and get served but no touch. Or you may be evicted from the school!

Otome Road in Ikebukuro

The cafe is located near to the Otome road ( 乙女ロード ).

It is the area for Otaku girls. It is the street on the west side of Sunshin 60 building in Ikebukuro. It is around 200 meters. It used to be just male dominated otaku/geeks but from around 2004
when the anime goods shop, Animate, started targeting more female customers and another shop, Toranoana, followed the suit.

Unlike Nakano Broadway or Akihabara, Ikebukuro has more cafes and shops around to sell female clothes this also attracts more female.

Today one big portion of the females hanging around in the area is called " Fujoshi / 腐女子". It means "rotten girl' in Japanese but actually means those girls who are into boys love stuff/yaoi
fandom.
